On a nice sunny day, when the weather was so hot, there was a man on the side of the road wanting to hitch hike. He stood on the side of the road with his thumb up and his arm out straight for a good 4-5 hours. Then at about 3 o'clock a car pulled over and the driver got out and said “hop in and tell me where you're going.”So the hitch hiker jumped in to the car and told the driver that he was going to 123 Dumpy Street. So the driver started up his v8 Lamborghini and sped off.
While the hitch hiker was in the car he was giving the driver directions of how to get to 123 Dumpy Street. When they were about to find the house and when they spotted the house, the passenger said”there's my house” and that moment the driver had absolutely no intention of stopping so he floored it on the accelerator and the passenger knew he was in for a bumpy ride.
After about a 20 minute drive, the driver finally pulled over out in the middle of nowhere. Then the passenger staggered out “Where are we and what are you doing?”
“Well what does it look like idiot, it's kidnapping!”
“Ooooppps! I wasn't meant to say that!”
“Still what does it look like idiot?”
“Well truthfully it does actually look like kidnapping!”
“If you don't mind Mr uh kidnapper I'm going to go and call the cops.”
“Not so fast mate!”
“Before you do anything else give me your cellphone,wallet,watch and anything else electronic and also give your pants and shirt,boots and socks and get out of my car!!”
“Ok”
So the hitch hiker took off his clothes and gave the electronics and clothes to the driver and got out of the car and stood on the side of the road. Knowing he had another cellphone in his pants the hitchhiker turned around so his back was facing the car and called the cops in deep secrecy “Hello police department Jason speaking.”
“Yes hi Jason um I'd like to report a kid napping and I was the one involved the most as in the one being kidnapped”
“Ok um can I get some details of the scene at the moment please?”
“Uh sure. Ok um I'm standing on the side of the road in my underwear and nothing else. Um he's taken my watch,wallet and one of the 2 cellphones that I'm on at the moment.”
“Ok um can you tell me any details about the car?”
“Uh yeah I can tell you some info about the car. Um it's a black,orange and blue stripy v8 Lamborghini. Um just hold on a moment and I can give you the number plate number. Is that ok with you Jason?”
“Yeah sure go ahead I'll stay on the phone and I'll be here waiting.”
So the hitchhiker hides the phone and goes over and asks the driver in a lot more confidence this time what his number plate number is and the driver happily tells him this”Uh my number plate number is SXYBA3”
And so the hitchhiker thanks the driver happily and then turns around so his back is to the car and pulls out the cellphone and gets Jason back on the phone and tells him the details he just received “Hey Jason you still there cause I've got the details of the number plate?”
“Yep I'm still here. So whats the details you got from the driver ah mate?”
“The number plate is SXYBA3. Did you get all of that Jason?”
“Yeah I think I did it's SXYBA3 isn't it?”
“Yep it is. UH I better get going before the driver gets suspicious.”
“Yeah you better ah. Not in a bad way or anything.”
“Oh hey um what's your name ah mate?” said Jason
“My name?”
“Yeah your name or is it some sort of secret identity or something like that?”
“Well it's not really a secret identity but my name is Commander John Butler of the U.S. Special Forces and F.B.I. I'm an undercover agent trying to capture a con by the name of Caleb Value who escaped from a high security facility in San Francisco 4 months ago and has been on the run since. There has been 6 killings and 10 hostage hold ups since his escaping. After the cops got to the hostage hold ups all of them were asked to tell of what they saw of the robber and they all said 90% the same thing about the robber. Here's what they said “he had red eyes and a black flattop haircut. He was apparently around about 6'4 and a thin build. He had a tattoo on his right arm of a skeleton and on his back was a tattoo of the Hogwarts castle.“
“Ah uh ok uh thanks for that information uh Commander John.”
“That's ok Jason.”
And so John said good bye to Jason and hung up the phone.
And as soon as John turned around the driver said to John not knowing his name still”Who were you talking to and how cause I've got your only phone or are you an agent or something,like who are you?”
“Um to be completely honest I don't actually know my own name really.”
“REALLY?”
“Really man!”John staggered trying to keep the truth a major secret.
“Ok then let's have a look in your wallet ah”said the driver.
While the driver was trying to find John's wallet,John was secretly fiddling around with his cellphone and quickly called the Special Forces and F.B.I. And told them to bring everyone and thing to the exact spot that John was calling from and then hung up.
When John turned around the driver still hadn't found John's wallet so John started dismantling the cellphone when the driver started to make the connections and got a wee bit suspicious and then turned around and said to John”Why did you want to know my number plate ah mate?”
“Uh”stumbled John
“Why!”Yelled the driver at top of his voice
“Um so that when we say good bye I can always remember you. How's that ah mate?”staggered John
“Yeah that's a reasonably good excuse...... So what's the real reason ah?
“I told you it is the real reason!”
“Oh ok”said the driver pulling out a M16.
“So what's the real reason ah mate!”Loading his gun
After about a 10 minute wait the driver finally gave up on John cause he wouldn't tell him anything so the driver decided to call a friend over and see if John would like to talk to his friend while he had a M60 shoved in his face armed and ready to fire. Then within 5 minutes the driver's friend had arrived and so the driver briefed in what he had to do and then he came over and put the gun to John's head and asked him some questions but he still didn't get any answers out of him so they went to plan B and at that moment soldiers started crawling out of the long swampy grass beyond the fences on the side of the road as if they had been there the whole time and then SWAT,FBI and special Forces vehicles started to close in on the scene but they kept their distance from the scene cause they knew there were guns involved so they kept some distance and then within 1-2minutes the whole sky was full of helicopters of all different sizes and abilities and so the driver was toast but he didn't think that because he wasn't going anywhere without a fight so he started yelling out 10-1 and then he yelled fire and him and his friend started rapidly firing. But unfortunately they were firing at nothing so that was quite disappointing for the two. Still keeping their unwelcome distance the FBI,SWAT and Special Force's soldiers were getting ready to pounce at the enemy and then after the two criminals had finished all the ammo everyone started to move in on the scene even more and eventually arrested them and started the transport and took them to a more secure facility prison.
Inside the truck they were getting transported in it didn't go so well because of the way that they were hand cuffed. They were both cuffed in the same way which was them sitting on a seat each and their hand-s were behind their backs with a pole from the roof to the seat and their hands were around that and their feet/legs were in the same set up.
What went wrong was that about half way into the transport both of them managed to escape the cuffs but one of them tried to assault one of the guards but of course failed miserably and both of them got shot with a tranquilizer dart and were out cold for a good 5 hours. When they got to the prison they were locked in for two days. Then two days later the one that actually did the kidnapping was taken to court and found guilty of posession of a deadly weapon,killing 6 people,doing 10 hostage hold ups,kidnapping,misuse of a deadly weapon and trying to assault a guard.
He faced numerous amounts of charges for those six criminal convictions and his fines added up to a total of $250,000 and the charges were up to $90,000. When his friend was taken to court he was only charged with misuse of a deadly weapon,trying to assault a guard and part kidnapping because of the hold the gun to his head scene. The two of them were sent to a maximum security facility with guards at every entrance,exit and any other gate type thing you could find with loaded M60s.
The kidnapper's name was found to be Caleb Value so he was in humongous trouble
5 years later the two of them made the connections and figured out that on sunny days at the prison the guards leave the windows open and so one day when the guard went on his lunch break and left the windows open so Caleb made his move and jumped out the window and made a run for it and then his friend made a run for it. When Caleb was about to run to the wall he was accidentally seen and so the guard whistle as loud as he could and then sadly that was the end of Caleb Value because he was slaughtered to death and his friend was so close to it but when he was spotted and he heard the whistle he just gave himself in and then because of that little game he played that day he was sentenced to a life in prison. And so 20 years later he tried to escape again but this time he didn't give himself in he just kept on going and got slaughtered to death and met his friend in hell/heaven.
Commander John Butler got a couple of promotions for putting the FBI's most wanted behind bars. He got a promotion in all of his jobs and went out to catch the rest of the FBI's most wanted fugitives and suceeded in that and he eventually made it to head boss of the FBI,SWAT and Special Forces and he had had the best life yet to come.
This was my story of a hitchhiker who wasn't a hitchhiker and the FBI's most wanted

A MISCHEVIOUS PUKEKO
We were at the park with mum. We had bought lunch and we were going to have a picnic. Mum had bought a delicious pavlova. It had delightful whipped cream and freshly cut kiwifruit on top. The outside of it was crunchy. It looked yummy.
I couldn’t wait till lunch time. She covered it with a tea towel to keep the flies off. Then my brother wanted to go play kicks. Meanwhile Mr Wright the pukeko came and had a little nibble and ate half of the pavlova and then walked away mischeviously.
After that we came back for lunch. We ate our sandwiches and fruit. Next was the pavlova. I was getting really excited now, I couldn’t wait. No time to waste.
When we went to take off the tea towel, half of the pavlova was gone.
‘’WHAT! ‘’ Said mum ‘’who’s been eating the pavlova? ‘’
‘’Not me! ’’ I said. ‘’Not me! ‘’ my brother said.
Then I saw white footprints leading to the big Kauri Tree. So we followed them, and guess what we saw? A FAT LAZY PUKEKO! Sitting there resting.
When mum had realised that the pukeko was the thief, Mum said
‘’Well I can tell you that we’re not going to eat that for sure! ‘’ My brother and I sighed, but mum said ‘’the quicker we get home the quicker we can make a new one and have it for dessert! ’’And so that’s what we did!
